Navigation Pane and Favorites

[Cryoruggie]

I seem to have lost the ability to view my "favorites" in the navigation
pane. When I click the View>Navigation Pane> iI get no button or option to
put on the Favorites folder. When I left click a folder to put it into
"Favorites" nothing much happenbs.

Also, I am now seeing every folder in my mailbox - Inbox, RSS Feeds, Synch
Issues, etc. This is too much.

I tried the Run: outlook.exe /resetnavpane which did not help.

Any suggestions? This is Outlook 2007 working with a server at work.

Are you looking in the correct place? Is it minimized?

See
http://www.xsolive.com/Outlook Screen shots/Forms/DispForm.aspx?ID=50
You need to be in the Mail module (Ctrl+1), not the folder list.

Diane,

Thanks, that fixed it. How might I have wound up in the folder list instead
of the mail module? I didn't deliberately make that change. I'd like to
know so I can avoid doing it again.

Also, 2003 doesn't have the small icons at the bottom of your 2007 image.
Is there a way I can make them appear?

Thanks.

Are you looking in the correct place? Is it minimized?

Do you have big bars across the width? If so, slide the bar down. If you
don't have any buttons, click the >> arrows then Add or Remove buttons.
